Seth MacFarlane Rebooting The Flintstones?

[Demon_Skeith]

FOX reported today that animation overlord Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy, American Dad), after many years of negotiations between 20th Century Fox TV and Warner Bros Television, is rebooting The Flintstones as a TV and film property. A dream-come-true, reportedly, for MacFarlane, a mega-saurus Flintstones fan.

There was some concern from the Flintstone rights-holders regarding MacFarlane's raunchy tone and how the new Flintstones would be treated, but it seems like everything got smoothed out in the end. The new Flintstones will begin production in fall 2011 and will be set in stone on the FOX schedule in 2013

"The very first cartoon character I drew at age two was Fred Flintstone," said MacFarlane. "So it's appropriate that events have come full circle, allowing me to produce the newest incarnation of this great franchise. Plus, I think America is finally ready for an animated sitcom about a fat, stupid guy with a wife who's too good for him."

Most depressing news i've read in ages.
The Flinstones were an excellent show, but don't dig it out of the grave Seth, let it rest in peace.
I bet he'll include some of his well-known retarded infant humor he uses in those shows of his. And how the hell can he just buy the rights out? Shows you money actually CAN buy anything, unfortunately money can't buy Seth MacFarlane a sense of humor.

Betty Rubble was total cartoon MILF. I hope its a family friendly cartoon, otherwise it kind of loses the appeal.
